Why is RateCity offering this scholarship?

RateCity is committed to encouraging the growth and business acumen of students. As a financial comparison website, RateCity is keen to offer support to students in business, finance or related fields who are interested in finance, investing, lending and economics.

The RateCity 2018 Business & Finance Scholarship is designed to help students battle the rising cost of education. For most people, a university education is a great investment – but it doesn’t come cheap. Thanks to this scholarship, the winner will be able to minimise the amount of student debt they accrue before they enter the workforce.

Who can apply for this scholarship?

The RateCity 2018 Business & Finance Scholarship is open to Australian and international students who are studying either part-time or full-time at university.

That said, the scholarship has been carefully targeted at students who share an interest in finance. As a result, applicants must be studying accounting, actuarial studies, banking, business, commerce, economics, finance, management, marketing or property, at an Australian university.

Students who are enrolled in a course related to business and finance are best placed to think about financial literacy, which is the issue RateCity wants students to discuss in their scholarship application (see below).

Once business and finance students have graduated and moved into the workforce, it’s likely they’ll have to deal with questions of financial literacy during their career. The RateCity 2018 Business & Finance Scholarship is a chance for students to think deeply about the issue now – and hopefully be rewarded for it too.
